You might have a very hard time getting this type of thing printed. I work for a prof. printing company and we can't do anything like that due to the possibility of copyright infringement laws.
Unless you have permission to do so, which I kinda doubt.

hey guys. for anyone looking for that katamari source image, I did a search on google images and found one that is 800 x 600 (bottom of page 6)
http://existenzminimum.net/wp-content/uploads/wp04_800.jpg
at work a lot of gaming sites and images are blocked, so google might have links to higher resolution ones, but I wouldn't be able to tell from here.
looks it was official wallpaper from namco's site a few years ago.
edit: beaten ;_;

I always loved this motivational poster someone here made years ago. I need to get it printed on photo paper soon:
BUT I have a question for you all: Should I leave the BELIEVE text "You can do anything" or should I replace it with the following Shigeru Miyamoto quote? BELIEVE...
"Everything you see is more than what you see What if the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldnt? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you go inside, youll find many unexpected things."

Indeed. Im pretty sure even printshops dont give a crap if you have the right to print the image or not.:lolFlek said:
You can actually create your own posters pretty easily with ImageMagick. Find a site with a bunch of similarly sized images (e.g. screenshots or box art), and pull them down (wget --mirror on linux). Then you can use the ImageMagick 'montage' utility to combine them into a single image and add captions.
(I actually have this in a 4118x6496 PNG if anyone's interested)

Here are a few that I printed out but haven't had a chance to frame yet.
Wow, those look pretty nice...and dare I say, stylish. Where did you get these photos (websites, etc)?

Here you go. I'm not really up on which free file hosting services don't suck, so hopefully mediafire is OK. (Not really into getting my own bandwith raped)

Oh boy, if I only hadn't actually taped up all of the posters from the hot new Nintendo 80's releases that would come in Nintendo power when I was a kid.

I was bored, so I made this.
Here's a close-up (comprised of screenshots from DK, SMB, SMB2, SMB3, SMW, YI, SMK, SML, SML2, and SMRPG)
This is a great thread, by the way.

some came from google/yahoo/ask image searches but they only get you so far. i got a couple from the various gaf wallpaper threads and the rest just came from following links off various sites to try and find images.

If you have a membership, Costco is a great place to get posters made for really cheap. They even have an online interface where you can upload it online and then pick up the poster in person.

Finding an image at that certain size can be tricky though. But otherwise, sure, why not?

here they are from the original sources I got them from.
unfortunately this is the best image i could ever find for the jsr one, which is why i stuck to a 5x7 print for it. In addition you can see that I did a few touch ups for my print. I like all the ad print just fine but for framing I felt as though the negative space worked better. If you want to go that route editing it in a paint program is super easy.

and the mega man one is here. Again, I made a few edits to the image to better suit my needs.

I'm definitely going to have to look in to that. I've had this thing around for years but never actually hung it up due to the overwhelming awesomeness (I can't look at it for more than 15 seconds at a time):

I'm not sure what size the picture is (a small portion of it is obscured by the matte) but the frame is 25"x32" (WxH) from the outer edges.

Hey, that's actually a pretty good site.Great King Bowser said:
Shame those pictures aren't in a higher resolution though. :[
I can get a 3722 x 4794 (300 dpi) picture of that without the logo's if you want it.The Mighty Schwein said:

If you could post a link here I'd appreciate it, I've never seen a copy of the MS3 artwork without the actual game logo. Where is the image from? It will come in handy if I get around to having some box arts printed then I can have my MS3 in any size.

how the fuck did you do that? I hope for god's sake there is some software that does that for you! regardless, would you please host that up somewhere?

Had to compress it a little bit, but this should be fine:The Mighty Schwein said:If you could post a link here I'd appreciate it, I've never seen a copy of the MS3 artwork without the actual game logo.

Wow, thats awesome. Where is this from? It's the first time I've seen the artwork without any logos on it whatsoever. Got any more? Particularly Neo Geo games, thats my love.

Just something I stumbled upon from a random place, don't remember from where exactly. The most large images I have are from recent games, but you can always mention which art from which game you're looking for and I'll see if I have something for that.The Mighty Schwein said:

Thanks for the links, folks.dakiarai said:
On the Megaman one I did some editing and printed on a 10x15 cm glossy paper and I´m very satisfied with the result. Next will be Katamari, but I´ll problably have to print both again for my brother and nephew (I´m doing my part to keep the gaming flame burning with the new generations
).a) this thread is the radness.
b) i'm going to be spending a lot of money thanks to this thread.
c) there is software that allows you to do composite images, like the Mario one - in Linux, it's called Pixelize.
d) regardless, hosting it somewhere would be super nice.
